  • Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo have established an immovable and authoritarian regime in Nicaragua, maintaining control of all state powers.
  • The Nicaraguan Government is using irregular migration as a means to challenge the United States, through the trafficking of migrants from several countries.
  • Political repression has significantly increased since the 2018 protests, with many political prisoners stripped of their nationality and assets.
  • Humberto Ortega, the president's brother and a critic of the regime, has been subjected to house arrest.
  • The opposition has been annihilated and dismantled by the Sandinismo, and any attempt of mediation has been rejected.

Conclusion: The consolidation of Ortega and Murillo's authoritarian control, the instrumentalization of irregular migration, and the suppression of political opposition point towards a Nicaragua condemned to totalitarian barbarism.
